Preparing to Meet Your Organizer
_ I think it’s important to
say, that meeting a Professional Organizer for the first time you may
experience anxiety, anger, sadness and a multiple emotions. Know that we are
prepared for this and will not take it personally. That’s our job as
professionals if you need to take a time out feel free to say so. Honesty will be our best policy!
Whether you’re dealing with your own personal transformation or perhaps a loved one. When we start to decide the things in our life that we maybe leaving behind; you can prepare yourself by taking the time before your appointment to search within yourself to know you are moving ahead to better, healthier, happier you, or creating keepsakes that will forever be a part of your family tradition, and those around you care for.
Think of it this way, organizing and having someone that’s all about you, may now give you the time to take more time out for family time, take that cooking class you always wanted to do, or throw the party you always wanted too, but have been too consumed?
Maybe you’re an empty-nester? Guess what? It’s a great way of finally getting those family heirlooms together and showcasing them and sharing them. Giving your family a reason to keep in touch!
There are no labels on anyone we assist, we only believe in solutions. Everyone lives their life differently. Remember we are here to help. We are not therapist, but once you get going, you might find it all therapeutic, go with it don’t fight it! Enjoy the ride!
A few tools you might want to use before hand?
· Take pictures before hand
· Sit in the space you will be organizing and begin to think of your space and how you want to feel there.
· Look in stores in which show rooms are set up and ask for information or pictures of set ups
· Make magazine tear sheets of spaces you love and how they are organized.
· Start a note-book; write down the positive and negatives of your findings.
· Think about and write down what your weaknesses are in organizing or keeping organized
· A pair of working gloves
· Label Maker, and Label tape
· Trash bags and three large boxes or containers.
· Have that sit down talk with family and/or friends. Whatever, applies to you! get the kids and hubby involved. Let them know your plans and how important it is for them to cooperate or help. A Book that might help is by Patricia H. Sprinkle’s book “Children Who Do Too Little: Why Your Kids Need To Work around the house” (and How To Get Them To Do It”) Terrific pointers on how to make this happen.
Now your committed! Calendar in the time which you KNOW there will be little to NO! interruption to keep you on a schedule with your organizer.
